Jaén

Visit Jaen’s cathedral, Arabic baths and local museums, then enjoy the views from the hill-top Santa Catalina castle.

Continue on to neighbouring Ubeda and Baeza, both UNESCO World Heritage Sites packed full of stunning Renaissance palaces, chapels and plazas.

Visit Alcala La Real and its impressive Fortaleza la Mota castle; or sample artesanal wines at a local bodega - wines from Alcala were a favourite of the Catholic Kings in Granada and protected by royal decree in the 1500’s!

If you’re flying from the UK, France, Holland, Germany or Italy, check out flights to Granada/Jaen airport with low-cost airlines. It’s a nice little airport, only 1 hour from Casa Olea.
